In the dying days of the 20th Century, Elfa, a conservator/restorer
in Florence, uncovers a hidden fresco in a remote church in the
frozen hills of the Mugello. Lost for five centuries, the painting
not only rewrites art history, but takes her on a dark journey
through her own subconscious, to meet the man who concealed it
hundreds of years before.

The Author: Of Spanish and Irish descent, Daniela Murphy Corella is
a PACR accredited art conservator/restorer based in Florence. She is
the president of Bastioni, association for the research and study of
art works, a non-profit organization of international conservators
based in Florence. She runs her own conservation practice, National
Heritage Conservation and for the past twenty-five years has
undertaken dozens of major conservation projects both in Italy and
abroad. Daniela is currently head of the wall painting department at
SACI studio art centers international, Florence, where she teaches

Daniela has collaborated extensively with the media for programs and

the same hill-top chosen by Leonardo da Vinci to test his flying
skills and shares her garden with two donkeys, a white maremano and
a vivid family of squirrels.
